United StatesWhat I'm looking for
English Literature is my major, and it was selected by my interest. However, the facts are telling me that Chinese language and culture are my ultimate interest. My career can be divided into two parts; first, get highest scores from translation test and become high lever executive secretary for foreign companies. The other part, translator, editor, and proofreader. I have translated for a translation company, also, I have cooperated with some local and foreign publishers. Which part do I love the most? Yes, the latter part. I enjoy the process of my thinking and creating.
